Son Volt - Route Lyrics

Reality, it burns, the way we're living is worse
Pillars of inspiration are all falling down
The clean-up won't work while the fallout goes on

And it's now or never, too close to the latter
We're all living proof that nothing lasts

Standing in the neutral zone, living on sleep deprivation
The rural route sleeps while the city bleeds all over itself
Over the falls in a barrel is where the answers have gone

And it's now or never, too close to the latter
We're all living proof that nothing lasts
Here for now, transient tomorrow
We're all living proof that nothing lasts

Another road remains, it provides no more
It can only take us away
Southbound, you can taste the weather
It feels like home

And it's now or never, too close to the latter
We're all living proof that nothing lasts
Here for now, transient tomorrow
We're all living proof that nothing lasts
